Lost in Translation...

Last night's dorm meeting was long, but fruitful! After a fun weekend of activities that included Blue Man Group and Alice vs. Wonderland, we all gathered together to learn phrases in all of the native languages of the dorm, which include Korean, Mandarin, Cantonese, Danish, Italian, and Spanish. We started with greetings, so we learned how to say hi and bye! In case you want to learn along with us, here's our phonetic guide:


Extra kudos go to Rowan S. and Rowan H. who have been peppering their roommates with questions in an effort to learn Chinese on their own. =)

Then, we voted on the designs for our 2010-2011 dorm sweatshirt! We had really great entries this year, and we're proud of everyone who submitted. It kind of made us wish we were designing more than one sweatshirt. But we offer warm congratulations to TILLY, whose designs were selected for both the front and the back of the sweatshirt! Here are the winning designs:
This will be the chest logo on the front of the sweatshirt
This design will be the big design on the back of the sweatshirt
Next week, we'll figure out which style and color of sweatshirt we want! Then, we went on to celebrate our new ROKU, which is a new gadget we've gotten for our dorm that allows us to stream netflix movies as often as we want. We definitely tested it out this weekend, and it was very exciting.

Finally, we celebrated Felicia's birthday with brownies, ice cream, and a very enthusiastic birthday song:



Ciao for now!
